[Applause] foreign [Applause] Like I always say that only few people follow you if you are a leader most of the time people are following those who are following you so it’s important that those who are following you are truly following you otherwise you are going to be leading a mixed multitude
But we are blessed in this house that it’s one Lord One Faith one baptism so let’s celebrate our pastors and ministers one more time And all the eggs of teams let’s celebrate them So in case you don’t know this is an organized house amen glory to God Psalm 133 from verse 1 the Bible says I go without personalities for Brethren to do it together in unity is like the precious ointment upon the end of Aaron it flows down to his bed
Then goes all the way to the skirt of His Garment so it starts from the head and begins to flow all the way to everything connected to the Head so it’s important that when you’re a part of the house that you are also deliberate about your being connected in that house
And one of the high points of Grace in any house is by belonging to a Service Unit in the house serving in the house of Allah Shall Serve the Lord your God he will bless your bread it will bless your water it’s the Lord your God you are southern
It’s not the mind you are serving and he’s the one who is going to be your rewarder the only one of those who diligently seek him so it’s important that you are connected through your service remember there is no tree that eats his own fruit and you are called a tree of
Righteousness a tree planted by the river of water so whatever God has given to you is for the benefits of others Galatians 5 and verse 13 by love we are meant to serve one another by love we are meant to serve so you are serving and your motivation for what you’re
Doing is love you just want to be a blessing with everything that God has placed on your inside Genesis 12 and verse 2 God told Abraham I’m going to bless you I’m going to make your name great then he ended that verse by saying and you shall be a blessing so God wants
You also to be a blessed whatever you have received from God Matthew 10 and verse 8 freely you have received it yo you see look at this lady look at all of them now look at other sang today some of us can sing like that and they can’t make claim to it because
It’s a gift Abi you can’t be posting with your voice because it’s a gift you just discovered that you have the kind of voice that people can fall for Freely you have received the Bible said right and freely you ought to give so be generous with what God placed at your disposal First Corinthians 4 7 what is it that you have that you did not receive what is it that you have and you’re meant to be a steward of it
First Corinthians 4 2 it is required in stewardship that the man is found faithful and in hospital 4 the Bible said in verse 10 as everyone has received a gift Minister the same stewards of the manifold grace of God you have received it up with it are you hearing what I’m saying
That being a blessing with what God has given us Paul said to Timothy he says tear up the gift of God in you bless the demand on Heaven’s deposit on your inside to start doing something with it he said God has not given you the spirit
Of fear so one of the hindrances to relevance is fair all of the hindrances to a love of impact is fear what if I fail what if it doesn’t work out well what if I’m misunderstood what if I don’t get it right you must overcome your friend the reason
That that man didn’t do anything which is one Talent was he was afraid prayed prayed it’s time to bury your fears are you hearing what I’m saying and stir up the gift of God in you and the greatest way to overcome fear is to be operating from a motivation of love
Love the Bible says cast out fear perfect love perfect love because there is no fear in love if your motivation is to be a blessing then fear becomes secondary the desire to help to serve takes the front boner are you hearing what I’m saying glory to God
Even if you fail at it you have learned from it next time you do better right next time you do better next time you do better let’s lift your hand and worship to the Lord for bringing us to the Ember months because we have come to the better part of the year
Because our God crowns the year which is goodness oh yes the glory of the latter will surpass the former let’s thank him for how he has helped us in the course of this year the things he’s seen us through how he has journeyed with us how he’s guided us sheltered us lifted us
Shielded us provided for us comforted us in our low moments how we strengthened us in our moments of weakness and vulnerability how he’s come through for us when a boxer against the wall and it seemed like it was over no way God came as a Waymaker for us let’s
Thank you for being our very present hell when we were down to nothing God showed up to say hey I’m not through with you my plans for you are plans to prosper you let’s thank him for for being at the lifter up of our head let’s just give him praise
Let’s just give him praise for being our Cavern in the day of battle when the battle was fierce intense strong he came through as a very present help in the midst of trouble for making walls to cease less thinking for healing our bodies giving us peace
In our minds let’s thank him for keeping our heads above the waters let’s thank him for light in critical moments when choices are to be made made Let’s thank him for being a good shepherd let’s just bless His holy name put the things he did for us the things they did
For our loved ones the things he did for our friends the things he did in a place a walk he’s blessed us at work bless us at home blessed us on the road let’s just thank him let us thank him yes yes but it took that song Worship we are just yes When money Thank you foreign Hello hello You have this morning Shout out to you This is our story they see this is my song praising My Savior This is my story this is my song praise in my savior Lord your prayers will continually be on our lips in the name of Jesus amen at least be comfortably seated I love the song taken by the worship by The Choir this morning and I love that line where he was called Jerry in Psalm 34 and verse 15.
The Bible says the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous and his ears are open to their cry when the prophet of Bayern called upon Baal from morning till dusk From Dawn till Dusk bear couldn’t hear but in Isaiah 59 verse 1. the arm of the Lord is not shortened
That it cannot save his ears are not heavy that he cannot hear Isaiah 65 and verse 24 shall come to pass and that day that before you call I will answer while you are yes speaking are we here Isaiah 58 and verse 9. then shall you call
And the law will answer you will cry you can put those what is your heart in words what you cry and he will say here I am that’s the god that we serve that’s why it’s important that you must learn to pray Genesis 4 26 then men began to call upon the Lord
In the days of enosh many began to call upon the Lord and since those days men have been calling upon the name of the Lord Psalm 18 and verse 3 I will call upon the Lord who is worthy to be praised so shall I be saved from my enemies
You must learn to be a person of Prayer men at all ways there’s no alternative to that call always to pray James chapter 5 verse 13 is anyone afflicted we are going through a time of distress what should be your response let him pray let him pray
Don’t bury your head in the sun like an ostrich don’t retreat into a corner don’t conceive Grant to the enemy if anyone Afflicted is anyone afraid to let him pray let him turn the battery to the gate and we call upon the Lord do his Worthy
To be praised so shall I be saved so I want to encourage you we have a practice in this church that every Monday 6 a.m We Meet to pray to start the week to regulate the outcomes of the week Tuesday we meet again six o’clock West African time to pray
The first three days of every month we started with pray and fasting because in Matthew chapter 6 Jesus mentioned three things I have reward prayer fasting and giving of arms doing good to the less privileged Matthew 6 I call it the Trinity of power being a man of prayer being a woman
Of Prayer and then consistently practicing abstinence from food and then also being deliberate about maintaining the disposition of generosity to those who can pay you back Hebrews chapter 13. the Bible says in verse 16 to do good and to communicate do not forget because with such sacrifices our God is well pleased
So this is powerful this is important so when Paul was talking to Timothy in first Timothy 4 7 and he said exercise yourself unto godliness these are Godly exercises praying on a regular basis so you’re meant to pray at least every day every day first Thessalonians 5 the
Bible said I think it’s verse 17. he said pray with that season pray without season it’s every day we go to God and say give us this day our daily bread so every day God must hear your voice are you hearing what I’m saying every day
And then every week I want to encourage you is not written anywhere but it is written in the Bible to fast regularly but I want to encourage you as a person this once a week set apart a day to wait on God start from if you have never faster
Before start from 12 o’clock oh yes you start seeing at 12 30. come from 12 move it a bit to one and then go to two then go to three he said add to your faith right until you get to six and then as the lead arises
You can do 24 hours stay on water to 24 hours because there has just some kinds Matthew 17 21. that will not go out except by prayer and prayer Plus fasting is prayer for us like we have Yahoo Yahoo Plus I call fasting my prayer Plus you’re praying about it
And it’s not budging more pressure everything will remain in a state of rest or uniform motion until a greater force is applied greater force and one thing about the enemy is that if you resist him he will flee if you resist you in your ground you know but if you start conceding
Ground to the enemy you keep asking for more so Ephesians 4 27 says neither give place to the devil shut the mouth of your vicinity are you hearing what I’m saying glory be to God and while you are doing all of that you also must be studying God’s word because
The weapon of our Warfare the real bullet that we shoot the salt of the spirit Ephesians 6 and verse 17 is the word of God the word of God the word of God so when you have done all of that it’s like you have a gun those those
Prayers those those those those fasting is like a type of God but the bullet is the word of God is God’s word so you must have enough of that word Colossians 3 are you guys with me this morning Colossians 3 and verse 16 says let the word of Christ dwell richly
Richly in you in all wisdom so that is why we started this uh Bible challenge We Didn’t Start just last month memory versus super Bible challenge at least one scripture per week at the end of the year if you are paying attention to it you would have been
Angry at least 52 bullets you can shoot for that year you may not use it that year but a day will come there’ll be a demand and you need to pull out from those things you’ve started that’s why he says you will hear a word behind something you have had some time ago
Six months ago two weeks ago and you knew exactly what to do in that situation in that situation so I want to encourage you please be very intentional Live By Design let us come to church be a doer of God’s word James chapter 1 and verse 25 is the man who
Does God’s word who is blessed in what he does be endure of God’s word it’s good to hear God’s word but don’t stop at hearing God’s word even if you hear God’s word and you don’t do it there’ll be greater condemnation for you or the woman just given much is going to
Be expected it would have been even been better if you didn’t hear it at all but now you have heard it do something with it be a better man be a better woman be a better dad who says Amen to that and that’s how we’ve come to this month
Every month we try to emphasize something as a church and the mom that we are in our focus is on growing stronger families and I’m going to be sharing briefly with us from the Bible Genesis chapter 2 numbers 24. therefore a man shall leave his father and mother
And be joined to his wife and they shall become become what therefore shall Iman leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife and they shall become one flesh now you see if you want to know God’s mind about anything what you need to do first of all is to
Find out the first time God spoke about it whatever was this position the very first time we spoke about it will always be his position about it because God doesn’t change God doesn’t shift grounds he said I’m the Lord and I do not change so in the beginning when God spoke to
Man the very first one God spoke to man was be blessed that was a very very first thing God said to man be blessed and that position did not change from the Old Testament all the way to the New Testament God expects man to function in the consciousness of the power of the
Blessing that’s why even when Jesus came the last thing he did Luke 24 50 was to bless them before he left Ephesians 1 and 3 blessed be God and Father of Allah who was blessed us so in the beginning God said to man be blessed
And open till now it is still the will of God that man will keep function in what in the blessing are you hearing what I’m saying in the beginning God said to man have dominion be in charge he said that directly to the first man when we’re going to speak through a
Lawgiver Called Moses Moses told them you shall be the head it’s still the same thing abdom Dominion another tale above only and not beneath Jesus came and said you are the light of the world a city set on the hill that cannot be hidden different words the same emphasis
The same message God expects man to be above to be in charge to dominate to rule exercise authority over whatever space God has given to you the same thing which the concept of marriage this is where the concept of marriage was established he said a man shall leave
His father and his mother and be joined to his wife and they shall become one flesh so from the beginning we see that God’s pattern is that it’s going to be a man married to a woman not married to a man a man married to a woman not married
To a man are you hearing what I’m saying and then they will raise children then it is in the will of God that those children will be raised to the point of Eligibility to be able to start another family so you are raised within the context of
A family a man shall leave his father he’s leading a family to go and start another family are you hearing what I’m saying he’s living a family where there is the male influence where there is the mothers in France not just the father’s influence but the father’s influence and
The mother’s influence are needed and then he is raised to the point of Eligibility where he cannot go and start another family now there are very shocking but important statistics I would like to share with us this morning you see 45 percent of children only 45 percent of children do well after divorce
Only 45 of children from diversity families do well after the parent separates only 25 percent of children with diverse no no no 25 beggar pattern of children from diverse parents have severe social or emotional problems as against 10 percent of their peers from nuclear families that is you can come
From a nuclear family and still have emotional problems but you are at a lesser risk than somebody from a family where it’s just a single parent raising the child 87 percent of second marriages end in divorce so if you’re saying this is not working and you leave it you have become a
Creature you will keep quitting once you start quitting you are likely to keep quitting and you can know what I’m saying 30 of children whose parents are divorced live in a household with an income below the property line so when only one parent is raising a child
Chances are that that child will be making choices with that proper supervision that will end that will make that will make the child end up in life being economically disadvantaged because whoever that appearance is is dealing with so many things together they wouldn’t have time for proper
Oversight for that child so you can be making choices without proper supervision he will grow up develop a tendency a habit a living acute in life that will be making to making poor choices at the end of the day it will become economically disadvantaged these are statistics
So don’t be angry I’m not telling you what it is just learn so back reflect couples now listen couples going through their first divorce this is interesting higher than the average age of 30 years old now there are other people do divorce people in their 50s people in their 60s
People in their 70s who divorce but the the median of most people who divorce is the age of 30. that tells you something one of the critical factors for staying or living marriage is your level of maturity the level of maturity the level of maturity that is the things
That will make you say I’m not doing anymore if you want to become more matured you just laugh over it but two three years of marriage I’m tired it’s not that you’re tired it’s because you are immature you are reacting over every small thing you cannot grow oh my goodness
Ask those who have been married for 20 years they will tell you their marriage not because they couldn’t have left than right when I was younger I wanted to be right then I realized that you can win an argument and lose your happiness you are very intense that you can argue yeah okay
You have won the day but I’ve also wanted an enemy for yourself so the thing should react to fuss about start a battle over you know people have divorced because somebody turns on lines only tons of light you don’t know people are divorced over how you press toothpaste
People that divorced over how you open the Blind and close the blind are you laid the bag you don’t always lay the bed and you know how to always love from the back why are you talking to me like that I can’t answer for you like that
You will not be able to address how you started you only see the end of it a little matter can Kindle a great fire do you hear the people who divorce at their reception of the reception where the husband said they said you are not serving our family well
Because in Yoruba culture it is a wise family that harm the reception Yoruba culture so the husband got a brief a memo from the reception where he was seated that the family of his own is not being served well at the reception so he hits
His son and says they say you are not serving us the what’s wrong with your family too much the husband stood up and slapped her because he’s not the first time he has been slapping now but when they slapped up before she says because she loves me
So just do what you had always done and the marriage ended before it started meanwhile there are families we are even with infidelity they stay together somebody between other person’s trust there’s this thing you what you have fought over and created problem over is that somebody took your change
And how much is the change 750 naira now your risk of divorce decreases by 14 if you grew up with happily married parents because you saw a model a pattern growing up now 43 of children growing up in America today are being raised without their fathers because of social media the world has
Become borderless there is so much infiltration of Western culture to this culture so whatever is happening there the good but not only the good the bad and the Ugly can begin to impact on our word view in this part of the world as well that’s why Allah also just say he is my
Partner but they’re not married that’s not African we got that from somewhere people live together now after three years of living together I said will you marry me since Sally I can’t have my mind around it so for the last three years what were you doing testing testing microphone it’s not African
It’s not a culture that’s alien to us in a very subtle way it’s penetrated the fabric of our society we celebrated on various platforms now people living together that’s some people going to marriage eventually and they can’t be committed because parts of them are in different places
The emotionally tied to so many people that they slept with number eight people raised in close families develop healthier relationships throughout their lives so research supports the people from close-knit families go on to enjoy close relationships later in life which such as learned that men who grew up in nurturing families develop
Stronger relationships than men who didn’t have accepting families the money the emotions well and maintain the closer connection with their partners so whatever research is finding out is just what the Bible had always spoken about this is God’s standard for this culturally man meaning that God can never be wrong
God can never be wrong this is God’s standard and it should be your goal it should be my goal of course there are exceptions there are life situations that you find yourself in the place where the wisest thing to do is just to move away to walk away that also instances we are
Out of things out of your control you are just having to raise a child all by yourself and when you find yourself in such context don’t write yourself up because with many maybe difficult but not with God because With God all things are possible all things are possible
Now what’s the purpose of family three quickly number one when you say we’re a family what are you trying to say number one that’s got to be care for one another this is what we call Family everybody having each other’s back it is called the sense of Brotherhood a sense of
Fraternity being there for members of your family because the light that will shine furthest motion brightest at its base you must be committed to those that you share the same blood together this is God’s pattern Proverbs 17 and verse 17 the Bible says a friend loves at all
Times a brother is born for the day of adversity a brother is born for the day of adversity in first sermon chapter 22 and verse 1 when the world was against David his family stood by him David therefore departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adam so when
His brothers and all his father’s house had it what did they do they went down there to him the word may be against you but your family should never be against you whatever the circumstances this is God’s pattern and what was David’s response also to the family look
At verse 3. he knew that his life was in Jeopardy he didn’t want to drop her that’s their own lives as well so what did he do then they went from there to Mr Moab and he said to the king of Moab please let my father and my mother come
Here with you till I know what God will do for me see a Caring song no wonder God says if he can care for his household he can care for a nation I can put him in trouble the entire nation it is this kind of a man
This kind of a human being unlike King Genesis chapter 4 verse 9 God came to King he said where is Abel your brother am I so David is a good example of someone who is a family carer and look at Cain a bad example the question is what time are you
Are you a keen kind of a person in the family when was the last time you checked on your family members just to check on their welfare how they are doing look at the Bible Isaiah 58 and verse 7 if you can pull it up for me Isaiah 58 everybody go uh-huh
That you do not hide from who your own flesh you see family members may not always do things right you didn’t choose them God gave them to you choose them you choose your friends you don’t choose your brother you don’t choose your system and you may have a
Brother who is actually a prayer point for want of a better world a lot of people can feel what I’m talking about if I remember who is just always giving you concern God said expect by Covenant obligation that to take care what what makes a family a family oh my
Goodness let me leave that concealed okay look at First Timothy 5 verse 8. 8 we always quote this scripture once ago how many of you have heard the scripture before being quoted for men that’s a misquote that’s a scripture out of context really from verse 1 Paul is talking about taking care of
Widows in the family and he’s saying that in any family before the church can take responsibility for somebody who is a witness because there is no family member to take care of that person where they have family members who can take care of them the family members should go ahead and take care
Or that we don’t but if somebody’s in your family we say we don’t and you’re not doing that you can do it the Bible says you have denied the faith he’s not talking to husband okay let’s leave it together it’s when you go home that you go home
Now but if any Widow has children or grandchildren let them first learn to show party at you’ll be reading it continue now write the letter to husband here not talking to husband he’s talking to families talking to families and the context is talking to widows talking about widows they can for widows
Glory be to God so you’re not meant to hide from your own flesh I got into the country Friday afternoon on Thursday I’m going to the country I landed my aunt a husband at 89 just passed on so I arrived in the country Friday afternoon I was to cut a flight out of
Lagos to Abuja that’s in Friday evening a group come to the house and lucky because if I did that I wouldn’t be able to get back to the airport so from the airport I went to my cousin’s house who is a professor in unilaga coming along where my aunt was spent the entire
Afternoon with them and then went back to the airport and then flew to Abuja for what I had to do and then go back to the Earth about 12 a.m this morning to be able to make it down to truck today just being there for family are you hearing what I’m saying
Being there for family I didn’t have anything to say just to be there my princess was comforting was a good man dead at 89 we thank God for that life just being there was that a discussing barrier plus what they just to make her laugh make her
Church you know eat and all of that just be in there some of you you don’t even call your parents I met their son who lives in England came I was upset with him I said one last did you come to Nigeria he said last year
And his dad was sick here in Nigeria he didn’t I said London there that there are times that you will be at matboro traffic for more than six hours you have got it to London from Lagos you’ll still be in my bro ah it hasn’t happened to you before
Somebody came to greet me for moshebo from like two and a half hours from magboro to like it took him six hours and the boys living in London and his dad was in Nigeria yeah he’s doing video call Richard six hours some of you your parents are live in the
Same Lagos he said is far he wasn’t founding to school he was telling me about somebody I’m just saying let me just say because some of you don’t know these things foreign what is wrong with all of you the man said he doesn’t want honor what must we
Force Honor on a man who doesn’t want honor so to just prepare small food take home for people who will come they say ah that is is trouble and the guys handling dollars in dollars and these are the prayers that sweated sacrifice to send him to school even when he bailed
They encourage us so you can still make it foreign I let me just talk can I talk to you like a 50 year old [Applause] I met a gentleman in U.S who was telling me about I don’t I don’t want them to know what I’m trying to say who was telling me
About a situation that this person okay let me just say it I’m that that’s what you can do to me that you know what we are standing on the matter because I’m not happy so this person’s mother is with this person in this country and then this person told an husband
Don’t be giving anything to my parents but me I knew how our parents got into debt to send her to school got into debt to send that to University now she’s a graduate now she’s living overseas now she’s telling her husband don’t give anything to my parents
And the man is trying to be careful not to create problem within himself and his in-laws and his wife so he is also being cautioned in his actions and because they are parents who are contented they will not talk but God can hear it how the father that you don’t do
Anything for him my father will never complain but doesn’t change God’s principles he doesn’t and if you can’t stop doing something to honor them whether them or they are concerned because you see this is the communication of family at times you are supposed to you’re thinking of your parents but you have
Siblings who are you concerned to your parents so even though your honor is to your parents part of the way to take care of their to all of them is to take off their concerns this other person this other sibling this other person okay help them whatever way you can
Are you hearing what I’m saying there is a blessing I’m just telling you that there is a blessing in it you’re not the judge of your brother give them advice it’s left to them to take it or not to take it but see help them the way you can help them
So family should be catered for family should not be discounted catered fall I’m talking about the purpose of family I’m going to stop at the third point and we’ll go home are you being blessed to them so number one care for one another number two the transmission of values
The purpose of family is for the perpetration of conviction so your faith has to become transgenerational deliberately Paul was telling Timothy he said the faith in you can be traced to your mom and it can be traced to your grandmom second Timothy 1 verse 5. God said concerning Abraham Genesis 18 verse 18
And verse 19 I know him he will command his children and his household after him now how does this work teutonium is 6 6 to 7 if you can pull it up for me in the Amplified version I think it’s on my slide Deuteronomy 6 6-7 in the Amplified
Version maybe the next slide or yeah uh Amplified classic Amplified classic it’s actually on my slide yeah thank you and these words which I am commanding you this day shall be what first in your own minds and hearts then the next verse you shall wait and sharpen them so as to make them
Continue of your children now let’s have that in the message version in the message version verse six and seven and then get them stuck there so if it’s not inside you it will be difficult to get it inside your children the challenge of the transmission of values is that
It’s an ideal for you not a conviction for you so if it’s just an ideal for you to be very difficult to duplicate it in the Next Generation it forced us to be inside you then you cannot penetrate and get it inside your children going to church on a
Sunday morning are you hearing what I’m saying on a weekly basis going to church waking up in the morning to pray it’s important it’s important transmission of values to the Next Generation look at Jeremiah 35 very instructive scripture Jeremiah 35 when you get them try to read it in
Jeremiah 35 Jeremiah goes to a particular tribe a particular Clan they are called the they were called the recommites and Jeremiah said to them even even brought them to church are you following what I’m saying and I said okay you guys let me serve you some
Drinks and I said no we can’t take any drink why he said because before our father left he left the world that nobody from this clan should taste liquor he left the world so we’re going to honor the world that our dad left behind so even though the man is gone
But that value that he transmitted stayed with that family and he’s not hearing what I’m saying damn it dead with that family my dad was telling us that when it was in Civil Service just got back to the country and they will invite him to
To the club it was in the club the advice him over for some private discussion say just join the oguni fraternity if you join we’re going to Fast Track your career I mean that’s it wasn’t even born again it wasn’t it was a smoker he was even a
Jimmy smoker when my father put a cigarette in his mouth it didn’t come out until he gets to the boat yes it wasn’t born again he wasn’t a good he was he was just a regular guy but before his dad died his dad told him in the course of your journey
If anybody invites you to any kind of society that is questionable swear to me you will not be a part of it and he swore to his dad so that he made the question for him so when you’re putting pressure on him delaying his promotion
Is that he said I would have died but before my dad died I made him a promise if you want to be Allah would have gone back to say can we have my life is stuck because of my promise to you but man is gone so there’s no way I can do it
So he was delayed three years no promotion after three years you know what God did they they gave him that person and gave him and he was not born again he was not a church person God was just honoring that commitment because God doesn’t leave himself without a witness to you
But this goodness leads you to repentance it’s goodness my dad was safe from an accident he wasn’t born again now the year was to be born I was my mom was pregnant with me 1973. just leave most to accident how we got to the hospital he didn’t know
They told him when he woke up several days later that somebody brought him and his driver I was coming every day paid these hospital bills brought provision for him did they woke up the person stopped coming in igara it’s coming from the bottom he never saw the person
That’s the angel of the Lord am I borrowing you you know old people talk a lot I’m not old yet I’m just telling you I went to my alma mater when I got there they say welcome our ancestor I said they didn’t come so number one Care number two number three inheritance
Proverbs 13 22 a good man lives an inheritance for his children’s children now there is bad inheritance there are people who inhabit battles in life their parents set them up on the deficit they start their lives from a place of disadvantage in Isaiah 14 21 he said prepare Slaughter for the children
Because of the iniquities of their fathers prepare Slaughter if you can pull it up Isaiah 14. August 21 previous Slaughter for the children because of the iniquity that’s bad inheritance Lamentations chapter 5 and verse 7 he said our fathers have sinned they are no more and we bear the iniquities of our fathers
That’s about inheritance somebody who started their lives on a deficit like this on a deficit nothing they did wrong but their inheriting battles inheriting battles we also have good inheritances some 112 and verse 2. can you pull it up for me some more than 12 and verse 2 once ago
The generation of the upright will be blessed my question to you this morning you have two of them number one what did you inherit virtues of blessings number two what are you planning to leave behind battles or blessings now there are three types of good inheritance the force is a good name
A good name in ecclesiasis 7 and verse 1 the Bible said the good name is better than precious ointment your name can be equity for your children your name can open doors for them got to England and he sent me a message he went to a church and somebody came to
